Entries and Qualification

You must have a current USSA Masters competition license to compete in regional and national championship events.
(no short-term licenses)
Competitor field size for the national championships is limited to 300 entries.

Event Results

Note: in order to manage the large field of competitors and provide good conditions for all at this championship event,
competitors are split into several groups by age and gender.
The groupings are
A (men 21-54, classes 1-5), B (men 55-64, classes 6-8), C (all women), and D (men 65+, classes 9-14).
The SG and the GS events are run on two courses to separate the younger A/B classes from the C/D groups of older men and all ladies,
while in the SL each group generally competes on their own course (whenever the group has over 40 competitors).
The C/D groups at the 2017 nationals were not large enough for separate courses, but the A/B SL was split by groups to accomodate the large B group.

The age class combined champions are awarded according to total race points in the triple-combined disciplines SG-GS-SL contested at the national championships.

Division's Cup

The Division's Cup is awarded to the division with the best ratio of points scored per competitor start
for all races in the national championships.
Division teams must consist of at least 10 competitors to be eligible.
The 2017 Divisions Cup was captured by Eastern division.
